​​Many high school students and parents are overwhelmed with the task of applying to college. They recognize how much information they have to decipher and look for resources to assist them with the college planning process. Some may have heard of Harlan Cohen or seen his bestselling book, The Naked Roommate: And 107 Other Issues You Might Run Into in College. He also hosts webinars and speaks at schools around the country. He focuses on helping students transition to college life and 'becoming comfortable with the uncomfortable'.Check out his website: www.harlancohen.com.

''Harlan was visiting Fairfield, CT in the spring and College Docs went to hear his presentation and spoke to him afterwards. At Harlan's next visit to the area he arranged to meet with us in our College Docs offices. We discussed our experiences working with students and were pleased to give him our feedback on his Naked Roommate College Boot Camp that he launched this summer. He addresses many issues for both students and parents including getting involved on campus, time management, dating and relationships, safety on campus, and diversity and other sensitive issues.

He was interested in hearing our views of his video series from our perspective as educational consultants working with college bound students, as well as our backgrounds as psychologists. In particular he wanted to discuss issues concerning special education students, regional attitudes, as well as parental concerns with the college planning process. We were glad to review his summer video series and contribute our expertise to Harlan's extensive resources. We have also utilized some of his materials with our students and parents.​College Docs offers a comprehensive and personalized approach to students and their parents who are planning to attend college. www.collegedocs.com
